Tl .ra tion relates to injipror'- heir curlers, en obje-ct of theinvention being to provide e' Wire covered padded, or lzid curler as itis linorn in the nrtq with :in improved arrangement of Wire projectingthrough the covering and having projectlooped ends Which permit the endsof the curler to be bent over the hair after the letter is Wound on themain portion of the curler and to prevent possibility ot' entangling theWire in the heir. further object is to provide e curler oi the characterstated in which the ends of the Wire being' projected vbeyond the cov- Iering are bent backwards in general loop form and ciose against the meinportion oi'' the Wire, the .extremity of the Wire beingf enclosed incovering so thatthe Wire Will not catch in the heir, nor Will the WireWork through and injure the cover.

With these and other objects in view, the invention consists in certainnovel tentures of construction and combination and errengernent @tparts, as will be more fully hereinafter described and pointed out inthe claims.
